As we transition into Fall, we look forward to autumn and the end of Summer. With the warm and relaxing days coming to an end we can look forward to pumpkin pie, cooler days, and drier skin.

Fall is my personal favorite season. We get to put on the new fashion trends we’ve seen but couldn’t wear in the stores and on runways the last month or so. The rich, jewel tone colors flatter nearly everyone, and gloss and shimmer make way for bolder glitter and sparkle.

Fall means going to the back of our closets and bringing forth our longer sleeve blouses and hanging up the capri’s. It’s the perfect excuse for shopping because as the colder weather sets in we all could use a new pair of boots and a couple new sweaters. But in your rush to cover up, don’t forget that the change in season also involves a change in how you treat your skin.

In the summer time, we all want to achieve the perfect fresh, glowing skin associated with the outdoors. We’re all about protecting it from the sun, wind, and fun. Our beauty routines reflect this mindset in products such as sunscreen, oil blotting, hydrating lotions, self-tanners, and the occasional Aloe Vera. The heat and humidity of summer means we need to protect ourselves from sun damage while making sure our skin stays hydrated for that supple, healthy glow.

As we look towards October, it’s the perfect time to begin a regimen of skin care to prepare for the oncoming winter months. Think extra hydration and exfoliation. You may need to add a moisturizer to go over the serum you used by itself during the summer as well as an enzyme mask and protection balm to keep your skin supple and hydrated.

Luckily if you see me at Solyn skin Fitness Studio I’ve got you covered. In October be prepared to talk about your summer routine and the adjustments we need to make to transition into fall and winter.
